The first post has them returning from a fight...so yay, salvage.
Yeah, the pirates, like Slooga, are not the focus of the RP. Characters need to be members of the platoon. If your character wants to go from pirate to platoon, that works, though I'm not sure how it'd work if he were intruder crew. Maybe they took him as a replacement when he pissed off Slooga, and the platoon was like, "Welp, he's army. So he's our concern, not yours."

Gotta get replacements from somewhere and the Rebel Alliance wasn't picky where it got them from. Alternatively part of a separate gang that joined the Rebel Alliance elsewhere and is a new addition
Anyway, for anyone else considering getting on, what we're really short on is a sergeant of some sort to take command temporarily and women. Hopefully, those requests can be filled.
Nah, the sergeant needs to be an Uslamer.
Another fine idea is one of the Jango Fett clones; toward the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine started mass cloning that wasn't remotely as good as the Kamino products from Jango Fett DNA, and the quality suffered. But a Jango Fett clone, even with accelerated aging, is still a tough, dangerous opponent. Of course, the Empire is also running experiments on these guys, such as the Dark Trooper project, so it might be interesting to see how someone might bring that into play.
That, of course, would make for a very interesting officer or replacement NCO. Just a thought, because the first run of Fett clones were very elite troops.
